The International Shaw Society ISS |
|
The International Shaw Society, whether established formally and legally (dues-paying) or informally (non-dues paying), will provide a means for those interested in the life and career of Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) to organize their activities and interests and exchange information. Membership would be required to receive the full benefits of the Society, but this website will offer services to non-members as well. Just click the buttons on the navigation bar to the left to see some of the services that might be offered. |

PLEASE NOTE: The International Shaw Society was founded in principle at a "Shaw Summit" on August 24th, 2002, at the Shaw Festival Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, with the details of its scope and operation yet to be worked out. A second "Shaw Summit" has been scheduled for August 16, 2003, at the same Shaw Festival Theatre, and all interested parties are invited to attend. This website is thus strictly experimental and illustrative. If you have questions, click on mail to:dietrich@chuma.cas.usf.edu . |
